Preview Features

Preview features are still in development. They are off by default, and you turn each one on separately in the web UI, the iOS app, or the CLI. They may not work as expected, and their behavior may change or be removed in a later release.

All environments

Preview

The all environments preview replaces the environment switcher with one combined view. Resource lists such as containers, projects, images, volumes, networks, ports, updates, and vulnerability scans show items from every enabled environment together, with each item labeled by the environment it belongs to. Actions on a resource run in that resource’s environment.

The preview is turned on separately in each client. Turning it on in the web UI doesn’t change the iOS app or the CLI.

Turn on all environments

Web UI

1. Click your avatar at the bottom of the sidebar and select Account.
2. Open the Previews tab.
3. Switch on All environments (preview).

The setting is saved to your user account, so it follows you to any browser you sign in from. While the preview is on, the Previews tab also offers:

• Environment labels: show the environment’s name in resource lists, or only a color dot with the name on hover.
• Environment colors: pick a color for each environment’s label.

To turn the preview off, switch it off on the Previews tab, or open the environment switcher and click Turn off preview.

iOS app

1. Open the More tab and select Preview Features.
2. Switch on All Environments.

You can also turn it on from the walkthrough: tap Replay Walkthrough on the same screen and tap Enable Preview on the last page. Environment Colors sets the color shown next to each environment’s resources.

The setting is stored on the device. Environment switching is hidden while the preview is on; switch All Environments off to choose a single environment again.

CLI

Set previews.allEnvironments in your CLI config:

arcane-cli config set previews.allEnvironments true
arcane-cli containers list

Lists use one combined table with an ENVIRONMENT column. To run a single command against one environment, pass --env <id>. To turn the preview off and return to your saved default environment:

arcane-cli config set previews.allEnvironments false

See Preview every environment for resource pickers, fleet confirmations, and the aggregate JSON format.

What changes while it’s on

• Only enabled environments are included. Disabled environments don’t appear. If an environment can’t be reached, the rest still load and a notice lists the ones that are missing.
• Environment switching is unavailable. The combined view replaces picking a single environment. Use list filters to focus on one environment without leaving the view.
• Bulk actions apply to every environment. Update checks, updates, and pruning run on all enabled environments, even when a list is filtered. The confirmation shows how many environments the action will run on, so review it before you continue.
• Global pages work as before. Pages that aren’t tied to one environment, such as users, registries, templates, and variables, keep their existing scope.
